How can I display dynamic contents in a view (not dynamic views)? - El Forum - 06-12-2010

Hi all,
I have been playing CI for a while. Recently I was stuck on a problem that is how can I put dynamic contents in a view? My application will read some thousands records from a db; each record will be processed and will be displayed on the view as a single line so user knows the progress. I have a loop in my controller to process those records. But how can I load view so user knows the progress? If I load the view in the loop in the controller, the view will be totally messed up. If I load the view at the end of the controller, the view will be only shown the last record. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a similar thread on the forums searching. How can I display dynamic contents in a view? Any idea, thank you!

maybe using ajax to load the content dynamic stuff.
put a div in the view then load the div periodicly using jquery or another ajax javascript frameworks

You can have view return their html. This is used quite a bit once your application grows, and you'll find the use for partial views. Use:
Code:
//Render html and save to string
$data['content'] = $this->load->view('dynamic_content',$data,TRUE);By passing TRUE as the third parameter, you get the html contents returned rather than be sent to the browser. You can than process as many blocks/views as you need to and then send to a master/display view.
Code:
$data['content'] = $this->load->view('dynamic_content', $data, TRUE);
//Set a new record to be rendered and save it
$data['content'] .= $this->load->view('dynamic_content', $data, TRUE);
//Rinse and repeat as necessary
$this->load->view('page', $data); //Let's see the whole thing nowHow can I display dynamic contents in a view (not dynamic views)? - El Forum - 06-13-2010

totally agree, and eventually i think from experience that is a very simple and elegant solution
